No halal food, awful service, no entertainment
Pros:

Just the room.

Cons:

We stayed at Garza Blanca Cancun based on the reputation and reviews, but unfortunately our experience was very disappointing, especially as a family traveling with a young child.

The resort had very little entertainment for both adults and kids. There were almost no activities happening during the day or evening, which made the resort feel very quiet and boring after the first day.

The kids club was also disappointing. There was barely anything for kids to actually play with, and parents were not allowed to stay with their children. Our 5-year-old son was uncomfortable being left alone there and refused to stay without us, which made the kids area unusable for our family.

One of the biggest issues was the food situation. There were essentially no halal food options available, which was extremely frustrating and should be made clearer to guests before booking. We also struggled because many staff members spoke very limited English, making communication difficult throughout the stay.

Another major negative was the tipping pressure. Even though this is marketed as an all-inclusive luxury resort, we constantly felt expected to tip based on what the meal “would have cost” outside the package. We ended up spending approximately CAD $100–$200 per day just on tips, which felt excessive and uncomfortable.

Overall, this resort did not meet expectations for a luxury family vacation. We regret booking this property and would not recommend it for families with young children, travelers looking for entertainment, or guests requiring halal food options.

Not a good value considering the cost
Pros:

The property grounds, rooms and amenities are beautiful. Rooms are large and modern. Outside pool area is very nice and well maintained.

Cons:

Horrible service, especially for an all-inclusive resort. While breakfast is offered as a buffet, all other meals must be ordered, and wait times range from 40 minutes to over an hour and a half. The service is consistently slow, and it often feels like staff are inattentive.

Another major issue was the lack of hot water in the rooms. This wasn’t just an isolated problem—many families were complaining about it during our stay, which made it clear this was a broader issue the resort failed to address.

What’s particularly frustrating is that tips are automatically added unless you specifically ask for them to be removed. At an all-inclusive resort, that shouldn’t be the case—gratuities should already be included. Guests shouldn’t be put in the uncomfortable position of having to request their removal just to avoid being overcharged.

On our departure day, our room keys were deactivated before checkout time, and we had to go back and re-register them just to access our room. No explanation or apology was provided.

Given how expensive this resort is, I expected a much higher level of service and attention to detail. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short.

Dissapointing hotel expierence
Pros:

The steak restaurant and the Chinese restaurant are both very good. The food quality is excellent, and the staff in these restaurants are exceptional — professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.

Cons:

The location of the hotel is disappointing, and the seaweed in the water significantly affects the beach experience.

From the moment you arrive, guests are aggressively approached to buy memberships and real estate, which is totally unacceptable for a hotel stay. Once staff realize you are not interested, the attitude changes completely — they stop helping, including with something as basic as reserving a dinner table.

Before our arrival, we emailed the hotel six times requesting a reservation for a New Year’s dinner, yet this was never properly handled.

Tipping expectations are excessive. Staff openly demand 10–15% tips everywhere, and at the pool or beach, securing sunbeds for a family requires paying around USD 20, otherwise no help is provided. Waitstaff often will not bring cocktails if additional tips are not given, despite service charges already being included.

The overall experience feels closer to a 3-star hotel, not a luxury property. Additionally, having to sign an electronic receipt for every single drink is inconvenient and not acceptable for a hotel of this category.

Pros:

not much

Cons:

the hotel itself was constantly hot. didn't seem like the air works properly. They restaurants were only open from 7 to 11:30 then 5:30 to 10. If you wanted to eat lunch order room service the middle of the day and wait an hour or go to the pool and order food. then for dinner you ned reservations everywhere even though the restaurants were always half full and in order to get a table you have to eat at 9 to 9:30. A total joke considering how much we paid. latly housekeeping came after 5pm one night. we told them we were realaxing come back in an hour and they said ok but never did. A lot of people working at the hotel spoke very little if any english. I would never go back
